This vest, a production-made prototype for the vest ultimately used in the final cut, originated from Christie's South Kensington. It is tailored from brown polyester with two front pockets and a pen holder sleeve marked “R.C.C.” The vest was previously displayed at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Las Vegas.

It features a Bermans and Nathans’ costumier label printed for “Joe Don Baker.” The tunic was previously displayed at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Las Vegas. It exhibits minor ripping in the fabric at the shoulder, discoloration on the back, and a missing frog button.
